STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL + + ,
Jid-Hits from Everywhere + + + by phineas j. biron
Yes, we’re bursting with news and gos
sip, and not a stale one in a carload. . . .
There is for instance the inside story of
how Charlie Chaplin is going to get rid
of his world-famous moustachios. . . .
Iii his next picture, the whimsical co
median, who denies being a Jew, will look
at a portrait of Adolf Hitler and then
look at his own upperlip ornamentation.
. . . A most terrific expression of dis
gust will distort the features of Charlie
and with a bold stroke of the razor he
will eliminate for all time the mustache
which give him fame and fortune. . . .
“No Hitler mustache for me" will be
the first words he ever spoke in a movie.
The Wise delegation returns from the
world Zionist Congress beaten—but vic
torious. ... It lost Emanuel Neumann
as a member of the Executive, but Weiz-
mann is not President. . . . That makes
Stephen S. happy even if Untermyer is
getting a lot of German Jewish publicity
these days. . . . Which reminds us that
Vladimir Jabotinsky, the Fascist Zionist
stormy petrel, has offered his services to
Untermyer in the boycott movement. . . .
A great betrayal, because Stephen S.
Wise defended the Revisionist leader at
the risk of his own reputation. ... Ju
lius Haber has returned from Palestine
with the film Yosscle Rosenblatt made in
Eretz Israel just before he died. . . .
Haber says that the film is a corker and
that it will be doctored in a first-class
New York laboratory to make it tech
nically perfect. . . . Maurice Schwartz
has acquired the right of Feuchtwanger’s
“Josephus” and will produce it this winter
on a specially constructed revolving stage.
. . . Belle Dijah, who performed a solo
dance at the New York production of the
Romance of a People—and she is a sweet
looking girl—is in private life the wife
of Marcus Ehrenreich, the dramatic critic
of the Daily Forward. . . .
Our good friend (?) in his enter
taining column in the Kansas City Jewish
Chronicle, published a letter from Halde-
mann Julius that takes us to task for
calling our pal Peter Clark, the brilliant
stage designer, a goy. ... If you know
what “goy” really means, you will under
stand that this attack is unjustified. . . .
Goy in Hebrew means people and goyim
means peoples or nations, and there is
nothing derogatory in the word goy. . . .
Don’t let us be too touchy. ... It may
interest you to know that Karl Kitchen’s
articles on Germany, which the New
York World-Telegram announced, were
never published because some one showed
our item charging Kitchen with doing
publicity for the Hitlerites to Lee B.
Wood, the Executive Editor, and after
close reading of the articles it was de
cided not to print them. . . . Meyer
Steinglass, who spent almost two years
in exile with the Toronto Jewish Stand
ard as managing editor, is back in New
York doing his stint for the Seven Arts
Features, which showed him into Anglo-
Jewish literature. . . . He has never
forgiven Joe Brainin. . . .
Spent a jolly half hour with A1 Jolson
the other day. . . . He is back in New
York inaugurating a new radio broad
cast. . . . Well, Al is so wrought up
about Germany’s anti-Semitism that he is
praying for a war between France and
Germany just to teach the Hitlerites a
lesson. . . . Jolson told us a true story.
... In the fall of 1929 he was invited
as guest speaker to a Jewish consumptive
home. . . . When he finished his iddrr«
amid tumultuous applause, he noti< ed tha*
his hosts were coughing and behaving
inmates of such a home usually behave
. . . So A I, w ho, by the way, is a mo»t
sensitive and even sentimental fellow, got
up again and said: . . . “You fellow*
can’t make Shabbos with my speeches, v>
I am donating . . . (and here his tongue
slipped, because he wanted to say one
thousand) $10,000 for your home.” .
The next day—in the Wall Street
crash—the Mammy songster lost ten mil
lion dollars. . . . N. B.—He paid hi*
pledge. . . .
The reason why Jacob Ben Ami did
not go to Hollywood on that big con*
tract is that Ben Ami refused to pin
Counsellor-at-Law as his first Hollywood
production. . . . He doesn’t like to he
pitted against Muni's biggest success on
the stage. . . . Joseph Von Sternberg,
the director who made Marlene Dietrirh.
was born in Vienna as the son of a rathe-
poor Jewish family, and his real moniker
is supposed to be Stern. . . . And by the
way, Paramount tabooed him as the di
rector of Dietrich's latest picture, Song
of Songs, because Sternberg is personi
non grata in Naziland and Paramount
thinks that Marlene Dietrich's picture*
are good merchandise in Central Europe
. . . Saui Rosoff, the big New York
subway builder, speaks Yiddish with i
heitnische accent. . . . His purchase of
$100,000 worth of tickets for the Romance
of a People show in New York wasnt
a publicity stunt. . . . He really bought
these tickets . . . bought, and then sold
them to his friends. . . . And Rosotf ha*
more friends than the Bank of the United
States had depositors. . . .
You remember that little French Jew
Leon See, who managed Camera, the
present heavyweight champion, during the
Italian’s first American tour? . . . He
is so peeved at having been left out in
the cold that he is writing a book called
“The True Life of Camera," and the
Boxing Commission of New York State
will have to take action against Camera
after Leon See’s merciless revelation. •• •
A scallion to that executive of the D*"
circuit who refused to permit the show
ing of a trailer announcing a benefit per
formance for German-Jewish relief 0
the ground that this would irritate the
other elements of the population. . •
Yes, that gentlemen is a Jew. . . •
Dark clouds are circulating over t- ;
notorious romance of Jessel and 1 J ’
madge. . . . Dave Rubinoff, who is maL
ing radio history with his violin, i* 1
very spiffy dresser and has his shoes
made to order at the cost of $35 per p* ir
. . . Helping the NRA. . . * Henri
Barbusse is coming to New York the f nKj
of this month and we tell you that
is a Jew. . . . There are half a doi* n
American journalists—residents of V"
York—who are in the weekly p*y 0
Joseph Goebbels. . . . We offer a h vr
dollar book to anybody who will
us with authoritative information a* f0
the Jewishness of Helen Jacobs, the t fr -
nis star. . . . There are conflicting >tCr
ries. . . . Personally we do belic\ s H* 1 ’
she is the daughter of a Jewish J yfr
tising man of California. . . • Eo u1 '
D. Brandeis is very busy convincing
of the high state officials in Wash
that Hitler’s Government is not f Ht ^
to recognition because of its anti-.
